Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've been running the rear springs up front and since fitting the Marlin I'm having some problems with front shaft coming out when reversing while crossed up. I have a disconnect on the axle locating arm and will need to remove it altogether when I go x-over.

What options do I have to stop the axle winding the springs. ( In reverse the pinion rotates towards the ground and thats why the shaft falls out !! )

longer tailshaft !!!!
or spacers !!!!!

No can do :(

The shaft is as long as I can make it.

I'm tryin to fix an axle wrap problem

If you want to stop the pack from seperating then you'll have to clamp it which will also start putting limitations on axle droop. what you want is a longer slip shaft.

John.

why get rid of the trackbar? remodel it so that it limits wrap without affecting articulation - should only require a rotating joint at one end.

had the same problem, square front shaft.

Try a reasonable size flat load leaf on the bottom of the pack. If you want your springs to last you shouldn't be letting them invert anyway so the extra leaf will help the wrap and the inversion properties. It shouldn't change the flex too much as the majority of the flex from the rear pack comes from droop rather than compression. Well, this is how mine is but maybe it's just sagged.

PS You also get the extra lift of the thick leaf

Sounds like a square shaft, and short load leaf might help

I got both but no marlin. Swap them for the marlin? I'll even pay freight!

Bootie fab crap square shafts. Set up right you can leave the clamps on the springs use a standard slip joint and get a full 14in shock compression to extention. QLD's and bootie fab

true dave you can get 14 inch of travel, but we all have 20, something your 4runner dosent
